Application and Function in the Dashboard
The ashtray cover is part of the Dashboard Components category and is responsible for aesthetically closing the recess in the central part of the cockpit. It is mounted in the front area of the interior, within the center console, providing:
- a visually cohesive transition between the control panel and the center tunnel,
- concealment of the ashtray or storage space from passengers’ view,
- maintenance of a tidy interior appearance for the BMW 3 Series E90/E91.
Thanks to its precise fit for the specific BMW 3 generation, the component maintains the correct lines and proportions of the dashboard, which is crucial for precise interior restoration.
Surface Finish and Color Scheme
The cover is made in a brushed aluminum style in silver, matching BMW’s factory interior trim packages. This surface complements other silver applications in the cockpit, creating a cohesive, understated, and modern cabin character.
The silver finish also helps to visually brighten the central part of the dashboard, improving the visual perception and highlighting the lines of the center console. This is particularly beneficial when replacing a part that has scratches, discoloration, or other signs of wear.

- maintenance of correct geometry relative to other dashboard panels,
- appropriately selected weight, facilitating the operation of the opening and closing mechanism.
The cover is intended for installation in the front part of the interior, thereby restoring the full functionality of the central cockpit area without the need for dashboard modifications.
